Mont Mouchet, like many other isolated and wild places in France (whether for example the Vercors plateau or the Albion plateau) served as a maquis for resistance fighters during the Second World War.

It culminates at 1,497 meters in the Margeride massif. It offers very beautiful views of the unspoiled landscape that surrounds it.

It borders three very sparsely populated departments of France: Haute-Loire, Cantal and Lozère.
